Ilex crenata Sky Pencil (Sky Pencil Japanese Holly)

Strong upright form

Dark evergreen foliage

Talk about a novelty, this selection is novel enough that everyone likes to talk about it even though no one ever seems to talk about crenata hollies! 'Sky Pencil' will get your attention with its tall, extremely narrow form and its luxuriant, dark green, shiny foliage. A perfect landscape accent, it's a plant that you might even use in a container with annuals, but no matter where you use it, people will talk!
